XTIDE QUICK INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS 0. XTide is Copyright (C) 1998 by David Flater, comes with absolutely no warranty, and is provided under the GNU General Public License. See the verbose documentation for all of the relevant disclaimers. 1. XTide requires: * libXpm version 4.3 or later (a.k.a. xpm-3.4, go figure) * libpng version 0.96 or later * libz version 1.0.4 or later (a.k.a. zlib-1.0.4) 2. You must download at least one harmonics file. See http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/files.html for details on where to get these. 3. You must set the environment variable HFILE_PATH to point to the harmonics files that you downloaded. Example: export HFILE_PATH=/usr/local/share/xtide/harmonics.tcd 4. ./configure; make 5. You should now have three binaries: xtide the interactive X-windows client tide the non-interactive TTY client xttpd the web server 6. The X-windows client is easy to use. Go for it. 7. tide does a few things that xtide doesn't do. Run it with nothing on the command line and read the usage info. 8. xttpd is a self-contained web server. Fire it up and browse away. If you don't have root or if you already have a web server running, provide a port number (e.g., 8080) on the command line when you start it, and find it at http://your.site.net:8080/ instead of http://your.site.net/. Set the environment variable XTTPD_FEEDBACK to change the feedback address. (You can also change the compiled-in default in config.hh.)
